First - $3 is unheard of. Outright theft and exploitation ...
Second - no company would ever ask it's writers to add more pages FOR FREE
Third - you are not supposed to revise any order unless you did not follow the original instructions or provided shoddy, unusable work. You should never revise a paper based on the tutor's instructions.

What you are describing is unique to EW and a handful of others. It is neither common nor acceptable industry-wide practice.

Stop writing for them.

No - I said the chances of their playing straight are high if you are a native English speaker and academically qualified. I did not say that they will play traight throughout your relationship or that you will escape their fining system.

I know about them because I've been in this industry for eons and know them through experience.

Honest advise - run far away from them

If you are a good writer and a native speaker, the chances of their playing straight with you are quite high. Having said that, you need to know that

1) they have an unethical writer-fining policy in place;
2) their per page pay is unacceptably low
3) they are the very antithesis of an honest business

Do you want to be associated with a company which lies to its customers, fines writers, etc.?

I am not denying the fact that they have some excellent writers on board - even the worst companies have some good writers - but, the majority are semi-literate and do not have the proper academic qualifications.

Keep on searching ...

Don't generalise. Yes, many are scam sites but there are several excellent sites out there. Do not lump us all together.

While you had no right to ask for any part of your paper prior to the deadline you set and paid for, it is apparent that you were taken for a ride. Do you know who their payment processor is? Write to them, asap, and inform that that you did not receive the service/good paid for. At the same time, call your credit card company and initiate a chargeback.

Everybody - sorry about all my typos but my iPad has a mind of its own :(

Are you serious?

Assuming you are, why do you advertise your sites as American/British and claim to only hire graduate and post-graduates from these two countries? We all know it is not true but you stubbornly refuse to change your webcopies. If you are as proud of your ESL writers as you claim to be, why deny their existence? Why lie about hiring them?

Based on the above post, stewie thinks ESL is a culture :) Or is he ignorantly assuming that all non-English speaking countries are bound together by a single culture? As sir alex ferguson said "He finished like an Indian."

Even if I were to believe that you weren't a dishonest spammer, you are hardly in a position to evaluate quality. Judging by your writing, you wouldn't know a typo if it hit you in the face ...

No. I sm not defending the site at all. If you see my comments on another thread, I attacked them. I believe that they probably sent you an unusable piece of work. However, you need to clarify the nature of your complaint - not just that try sent you a draft.

If you can close them down, good for you! You will be doing others a wonderful service.

To close them down, however, you need to phrase your complaint differently.

Greek - I am not defending essay academia but your complaint is weak. As far as I can see, they delivered your paper. More to the point,

1) was it poorly written?
2) was it plagiarism- free?
3) did the writer adhere to your instructions?

I am assuming that the paper was poorly written and, if that's the case, you are entitled to a refund.

Police, prison, closing the site, etc ... focus on the possible (refund) and do not waste time on the impossible.

Muhamed, call your bank and start a chargeback at once. If you paid via PayPal, contact them and explain that you want a refund as the service you ordered and paid for was not delivered. If you know the name of their payment processor, contact them as well.

Carol, we are not allowed to make any recommendations. While some may find this inconvenient, it is for your own protection. Were recommendations allowed, most of us would be sitting here promoting our own sites and our services as writers - of course, we'll pose as 'satisfied customers.'

As I understand it, they delivered the paper. Why did you ask for a refund? Why must they be 'closed down. The nature of your complaint hardly justifies your call for their closure.

Customers / students - here are a few truths:

1) we do not produce drafts

2) we do not write up notes while researching

3) we find it unbearable when asked to change the FONT or correct a couple of typos

4) we find incessant messaging a waste of time. Please do not expect writers to be at their computers and at the site 24/7 just waiting for any incoming messages so that they may respond on the spot

You'd better start training a few ...

What on earth are you trying to say?

Customers - when you receive a bad essay, adopt an optimistic attitude towards it all. Yes, you were robbed and played for a fool but, you are still alive and the sun is still shinning. The world has not come to an end!

theGuardian - bad essay = theft.

Optimism ...

Which company is that?

Seriously, Stewie, we both know that the company you are referring to is not making any false claims (as you are insinuating). They are amongst the industry's founders (in its online format).

Do you really want to get into the `false claims' argument? :)

If we're allowed to recommend our services, this forum will become a free-for-all. Everyone of us will go about promoting ourselves at the expense of other companies/writers. Besides (speaking as both a company owner and writer), how would we maintain objectivity? Where both my company and my own research/writing skills are concerned, I am very subjective. Should I (or anybody connected to the company) be asked about our quality of service? No - at best, we will be `selectively' truthful. Should customers be asked and allowed to post recommendations? No, if only because it is extremely easy for site owners/managers to pose as satisfied customers.

As Major wrote above.

Biblio - the funny thing is that you are right. Some would pick up a job like that :)

Yes - it is.

In that case, don't respond. Your ignorant, slightly annoying, responses make you look foolish :)

Now - I'll leave you to have another of your anti-WRT tantrums but, sorry to say, won't respond. Find you boring :)

Classic Rusty statements:

You are the one who's hiding behind a cloak of anonymity, not me.


Anti-Academia-Research propaganda? Slander? Do they or do they not
1) lie about the geograpic origin of their services
2) lie about their writers' qualifications
3) lie about their quality of service
4) lie about their refund policy
5) lie about their ownership (employ assumed names)
Leave ethics out of it - all of the above is illegal.

Now - how about your staying on topic and proving me wrong by showing that academia-research does not lie about any of the above? Prove that I am libelling them - if you can disprove any one of the above statements, you will establish me as a liar. Stop your histrionics and prove me wrong in a logical and truth-based manner.


I do. Alexei, do I know what I'm talking about? :)


Stop embarrassing yourself and exposing your ignorance. What you've just claimed only applies to their handful of good writers.


No, it does not simply suck. How about some honesty here - how many revision orders did you pick up from AR's pool of illiterate `writers'? How many extremely genuine customer complaints did you read on order message boards (when they are sent back to AVAILABLE as revisions)?

You know the truth but, apparently, you are vitually unhirable (for some reason) and are, therefore, completely dependant on AR.

You say it does not belong on the list?


To which I replied:


So, as the list is about companies which do not care about how bad their writers' English is, AR belongs there. You, apparently, agree with my contention that AR does NOT screen its writers:



Try comprehending posts prior to responding to them. Also, if you keep emotions out of it, you might not sound as senseless as you presently do.

Now - why are you, yet again, interfering with my posts? I think you're developing something of a sick obsession. Sorry to break the news, Rusty, but it is a completely one-way obsession :)

This is a classic :)


I'm a collectivity, a multitude ... :) As for my not being a writer anymore, I most certainly am. I leave management to others and am a very active writer. One of your friends on this forum can easily confirm this :)


Slight problem here ... you are, as usual, making assumptions. Another thing - I do know a lot more than you.


You are assuming that I care enough about Alexei to engage in any sort of personal vendetta ... Should Alexei, Yuri, etc. clean up their act, won't have any problem with them.

Now ... throw an anti-WRT tantrum.

Don't forget
Academia-research
essaywriters.net
abd Researchers' high quality sites :) essaybrunch, et al. All from Ukraine.

Good one :)

And I've, quite literally, never come across a more unethical and underhanded person. If you want an account with essaywriters.net, all you need to do is apply as a writer. Why do you want to buy a account? Why do you want to enter through the backdoor? Do you honestly believe that any would give one such as you access to their personal info, or allow you to use their name?

Question: essaywriters accepts most all applicants - why don't you apply?

Not at all interested in your offer. As much as I disrespect essaywriters.net, I won't be a party to your unethical proposition. Any who seek entry through the backdoor or a cracked window, cannot be trusted and can only be labelled as immoral.

I have an EW account. Even though I never wrote a single order for them and my qualifications very clearly do not include MATHS or any type of science, they are forever assigning me math and science orders (happened about 5 times). Each and every time I received an email stating that I was assigned an order, I'd log on and tell admin that I was not going to do it. Despite that, they've fined me each and every time :) Wrote zero papers for them, earned naught from EW but, somehow, owe them $300+ in fines :) Here's to wishing them the best of luck in collecting a penny from me ...

A customer placed a rush order yesterday. Order instructions: "summarise chapter 3." I emailed the customer multiple times and tried getting her on the phone - all I wanted to know was CHAPTER 3 OF WHAT?! 8 hours went by without a response from the customer, so cancelled and refunded. I never even placed the order in the AVAILABLE SECTION for writer to see and pick up - who would ever pick up an order like that?

I honestly do not doubt that you have and, as much as I dislike him/her, am sure the rusty one is one of their better writers. I also know that they have another v good writer on their books (Vange). But, honestly ... how many good writers do they have? You three are in the minority. The majority of their writers are absolutely illiterate. How many revision orders did you pick up from other MP writers? Could you make heads or tails of the trash they tried to pass off as academic writing?

Another thing - should writers of your calibre be offered such low CPPs?

Speaking from personal experience (as a one-time FWC writer), they pay peanuts but
1) Admin was always very nice and highly professional
2) they never lied (to me) about their nationality
3) they did not fine writers and were always very encouraging

I know nothing of their client-end sites, though, and do not know whether or not they are as honest with customers/potential clients.

One major problem with FWC - indiscriminate hiring; they have plenty of really badwriters on their list.

I've often wondered about that, FW. There is no way for us to really know, is there? I guess I'm assuming that iParadigms would not want any more bad publicity or lawsuits - bound to happen (I think) if it violates the customer's `no-storage demand.' But, at the end of the day, you are right - we do not know.

They do - writecheck.turnitin.com.


Absolutely correct! You are the copyright holder and cannot be forced to upload your work to a third-party website for whatever purpose - your explicit consent is required.

Much too risky ... what if the customer takes the work and runs? As WB stressed = it's not how it works in this industry (or practically any other).

No, it would not be. Of course, it ultimately depends on the company you select but, in general - of course not!

They won't store it if you UNcheck the STORE IN REPOSITORY box.

Actually, I find the OP's actions quite despicable. Yes, his/her clients should have paid what they owed and should not have submitted the work as their own. However, the situation could have been resolved in a way which did not involve the destruction of the students' academic future.

As evident from your other thread, you
1) communicated with their tutor, ensuring that they get suspended or expelled
2) posted their essays online

Why on earth would they ever pay you? You sought revenge, not justice ...

I am sorry but I don't know what you mean. Are you implying that I rob any whose English is rotten? And, what do you mean by "you people"? From where I'm standing, you come across as nothing but a failed and hopeless `wannabe.' Why mention your illusionary $15-25 CPP or announce that you have 50 regular clients? An inferiority complex, perhaps? Trawling? I think it's both ...


If you knew what `apprehension' meant, you'd understand how ridiculous you sound.


No, it is not. The argument is, and always has been, as follows:
Any who claim that they are English language academic writers must have the requisite academic qualifications and linguistic proficiency.


You are, of course, correct. Why would you need English for any of these subjects? Gibberish would do.

The majority of Middle Eastern students studying in these countries require writers whose English is as good as their own. Most have only ever studied in English (British or American) schools and would not be satisfied with an EFL writer. In fact, the group you are referring to has long been a source of controversy and public debate in the Middle East. You know why? Because, despite their being born and raised in their native countries, their English is much better than their Arabic. Conclusion - don't assume that Middle Eastern students would want an EFL writer ...


Nobody ever made that claim.
